    In general I have a rule: if there is a dressing code, I run.

    Idk, one day I went to my town hall for my ID card and the guy had a hoodie with a large “DE PUTA MADRE” caption… Didn’t make a good impression on me tbh.

      what is the issue with that hoodie? in which sense do you think that your case was better handled if the person had a fancy suit? did the person not do their work properly?

      also the hoodie was clearly a very good one if it was “de puta madre” (I’m originally from the basque country, where that slang means “very very good”)

        I don’t see how the fancy suit comes into this, still, I think a public officer should at the very least avoid wearing clothing with vulgar captions.

        I guess if you want you can go to work wearing a t-shirt saying “I BUTTSEX YOUR MOM”, let’s see how it works out for you. Or go naked, for that matter, if you don’t want any limitation at all when it comes to clothing.

          That’s not what that translates to lol. It really does mean “very good” though if you want to take it literally, it’d mean son of a b*tch.

              I thought the thing you said about the t-shirt was meant to be comparable to the hoodie, my bad. fwiw I think it’s an inappropriate thing to wear to a public-facing government job too.
